   I see Mastodon is going down that Google+ rabbit hole of "it's dead here" "it's too quiet" "there's nobody here" "the numbers are falling off".

   It's truly sad to see. While yes, the counts might be down, but there are still hundreds of thousands of users here, and if you follow the right people/accounts, your timeline/feed won't be "dead" or "quiet" as you are claiming it is.

   It's just really sad to see that kind of negativity get spread across the #Fediverse

     @CliffWade I guess I did not get the memo, as the #Fediverse is still growing.

     The top three platforms (#WordPress, #Threads & #Flipboard) have yet to fully promote &/or embrace #ActivityPub for the masses, & have a potential reach of 1.5 billion active sites/users within their own respective ecosystems.

     Those stats do not even include #Ghost yet!

     2025 will be a breakout year for the Fediverse, which in this crazy world is needed more than ever.

     @jwildeboer Very well said and I totally agree.

     I just hate seeing people post about and focus on the numbers and making that their number one claim as to why it's now a dead platform and is continuing to die each and every day.
